Obama: the German Musical
My brain is leaking out my ears after doing the research for this post. But it had to be done. Credit to Laura Ingraham for bringing this to light on the radio this morning.
The German magazine Der Spiegel provides an overview of the new German Obama musical here.
The most comprehensive description I found was this website that appears to be a German online ticket retailer. Here are a few excerpts from their (undoubtedly biased) description:
The first interactive musical, in which the audience sits on special musical chairs!
The new presidential candidate restores the people’s confidence, allowing them to believe in something again. It seemed that until quite recently, the people had given up hope.
„Yes we can!“ – a simple slogan which has become THE ONE rallying cry representing courage and change and has united and changed generations worldwide.
In a stirring and modern musical production, HOPE shows the amazing history of the development of a new societal movement to a new generation.
As performers of multinational origin, we generally champion the idea of a democratic, global society living together in the context of world peace.
And here is the video. Disclaimer: your brain may explode.




That is so horribly amateurish and bad, it makes me wonder what other crap we can export to Germany…
